Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last Updated: 15 August 2026

At JML Pets, we respect the intellectual property rights of creators, businesses, copyright owners, and other rights holders. We expect visitors and users of JMLPets.co.uk to respect those rights as well.

This Copyright & DMCA Policy explains how you can notify us if you believe material appearing on our website infringes your copyright and how JML Pets may respond to such complaints.

As JML Pets is a business established in the United Kingdom, copyright matters may be governed by applicable UK copyright legislation, including the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Where the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including 17 U.S.C. §512, is applicable to a particular matter, the additional DMCA procedures described below may also apply.

This will help us identify the nature of your correspondence.

5. How We May Respond to a Complaint

After receiving a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, JML Pets may review the information provided and take steps appropriate to the circumstances.

Depending on the situation, we may:

Ask the complainant for additional information
Review the content concerned
Verify the location of the material
Contact a relevant supplier, licensor, user, or content provider
Temporarily disable access to disputed material
Remove material where appropriate
Restore material where a complaint is withdrawn or shown to be mistaken
Decline to act on a complaint that is incomplete, clearly invalid, abusive, or unrelated to copyright

Taking temporary action regarding disputed material does not necessarily mean that JML Pets accepts that infringement has occurred.

Where appropriate, final legal responsibility for a copyright dispute may need to be determined between the relevant rights holders or by a competent court or authority.

6. Good-Faith Complaints

Before submitting a complaint, please consider whether the use complained of may be:

Authorised by the copyright owner
Covered by a licence
Permitted under an applicable copyright exception
Otherwise lawful

Do not knowingly submit false or misleading information.

7. DMCA Notices Where Applicable

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is legislation of the United States.

JML Pets is a UK business, so the existence of this policy does not mean that every copyright dispute involving JML Pets is governed by the DMCA.

However, if you intend to submit a notification that is required to satisfy the requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your written notice should substantially contain the information required by that provision.

This includes:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or an appropriate representative list where multiple works are involved
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow the material to be located
Information reasonably sufficient to allow the complaining party to be contacted, such as an address, telephone number, and available email address
A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, as required by the DMCA, made under penalty of perjury regarding the authority to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right

The statutory requirements for a DMCA notification are established by U.S. law and may differ from the requirements for an ordinary UK copyright complaint.

8. DMCA Designated Agent

Certain protections available to qualifying online service providers under 17 U.S.C. §512 involve additional requirements, including requirements concerning a designated agent.

This policy does not, by itself, represent that JML Pets has registered the contact details listed above as a designated agent with the United States Copyright Office.

Where a registered DMCA designated agent is legally required and applicable, the relevant current agent information should be determined from the applicable official registration records.

9. Counter-Notices Under the DMCA

This section applies only where:

Material has been removed or disabled as part of an applicable DMCA process; and
The person responsible for that material is entitled to submit a counter-notification under U.S. law.

If you believe qualifying material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or incorrect identification, an effective DMCA counter-notification must substantially include:

Your physical or electronic signature
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled
The location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
Your name
Your address
Your telephone number
The jurisdiction and service-of-process statements required by 17 U.S.C. §512

The jurisdiction statement required by the U.S. DMCA concerns the applicable United States Federal District Court. It is not a statement consenting to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10. Restoration Following a DMCA Counter-Notice

Where the DMCA notice-and-counter-notice procedure legally applies and all statutory requirements have been satisfied, material may be restored in accordance with the timetable and conditions established under 17 U.S.C. §512.

Under that procedure, restoration generally occurs no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receipt of a valid counter-notification unless the original complainant provides notice that qualifying court proceedings have been commenced.

This process applies only where the relevant U.S. statutory requirements apply to the situation.

11. User-Submitted Content

If JMLPets.co.uk provides functionality that allows customers or other users to submit content, such as:

Reviews
Images
Comments
Testimonials
Other uploaded materials

you must only submit content that you have the legal right to use.

You must not knowingly upload content that infringes another person's copyright or other intellectual property rights.

JML Pets may remove or restrict access to user-submitted content where we reasonably believe this is necessary to address an intellectual property complaint or comply with applicable law.

12. Repeat Copyright Infringement

Where JML Pets operates accounts or other services that allow users to submit content, we may take reasonable action against users who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Removing content
Restricting uploading functionality
Suspending an account
Terminating access to relevant services

Any action taken will depend on the nature of the service, the available evidence, and applicable legal requirements.

13. False or Misleading Notices

Submitting a copyright complaint is a serious matter.

You should not deliberately:

Claim ownership of material you do not own
Misrepresent your authority to represent a copyright owner
Identify lawful material as infringing when you know the allegation is false
Provide intentionally inaccurate information
Abuse the complaint procedure to interfere with legitimate content

False or materially misleading claims may expose the person making them to legal consequences under applicable law.

14. Other Intellectual Property Rights

This policy primarily addresses copyright complaints.

If your concern relates instead to another intellectual property right, such as:

A trade mark
Registered design
Passing off
Other proprietary rights

please contact us at:

contact@JMLPets.co.uk

Clearly explain the nature of the right concerned and identify the material or activity you believe infringes that right.

15. Information Shared During a Complaint

To investigate or resolve an intellectual property complaint, we may need to share relevant information from a notice or counter-notice with:

The person responsible for the disputed material
The complainant
Our website or hosting provider
Relevant service providers
Professional advisers
Authorities or courts where legally required

Personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

Please therefore avoid including unnecessary sensitive or confidential personal information in a copyright complaint.

16. No Admission of Liability

Our decision to remove, restrict, retain, or restore particular material does not by itself constitute an admission that:

Copyright infringement occurred
Copyright infringement did not occur
JML Pets accepts liability
A complainant's legal position is correct
A content provider's legal position is correct

17. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Copyright & DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

Our website functionality
User-generated content features
Business operations
Copyright procedures
Applicable legislation
Regulatory or legal requirements

The latest version will be published on JMLPets.co.uk.

The Last Updated date at the top of this policy will be revised where appropriate.
